Hoolduskulud

Hoolduskulud refers to the costs associated with maintaining and operating a property. These expenses are typically recurring and are necessary to ensure the property remains in good condition, safe, and functional. In Estonia, hoolduskulud are a common consideration for property owners, particularly in apartment buildings.

These costs can encompass a wide range of services and expenditures. Common examples include regular maintenance of common areas such as stairwells, elevators, and building facades. They also cover utilities for these shared spaces, like electricity and water. Furthermore, hoolduskulud can include services like waste removal, cleaning of common areas, and landscaping if applicable. For apartment buildings, the management company or the homeowners' association often collects these funds from residents, typically on a monthly basis, to cover these ongoing operational needs. The exact amount of hoolduskulud can vary significantly depending on the size of the property, its age, the services provided, and the specific agreements in place. They are an essential part of property ownership, contributing to the preservation of value and the overall living environment.
